So, I show up at the Obama GOTV HQ here in Kirksville this morning, only to discover workers have cordoned off the exact area of the block where the entrance to the HQ is. Apparently they must have just done this, as the volunteer coordinator (who is not from around here) came out to ask what was going on, and if they would be done soon, as she pointed out that she had 40-60 volunteers that needed to come in and out throughout the day (they responded "we'll be here all day"). They were evasive, but claimed the city sent them.
I checked with the city, who insisted they certainly did not send them, and they were not in city trucks (one of their trucks sported a Republican bumpersticker though). I went back with a video camera to question them as to why they falsely claimed to be city workers (they were allowing some access to the HQ by this point, thankfully):
UPDATE: My fiancee scouted the GOTV office out for me (she was planning to volunteer anyway) and has added some interesting insights and information at her Open Salon live blog (including the lovely tidbit that the workers dismissively addressed my very feminist fiancee as "hon").
